<p>For the record, I see them. Not as common as RL or TH, but they’re definitely out there.</p>
<p>I have two BB polos, but mainly prefer their ties and button ups. And where i go to school BB is more common than TH.</p>
<p>A lot of choices listed on here are great if you want to blend in, with your head down, not to be known as a good dresser but avoid any attention, positive or negative, and look like the latest dork out of a J-crew magazine.</p>
<p>Go to you nearest shopping mall or boutique store, try on everything, push your comfort zones, and try putting on some unique or stylish things. Even something as subtle as a leather jacket. I mean, keep it simple, and subtle if you need to, but the best dressers at least stand out and have to take some risks.</p>
<p>Khakis, khaki shorts (shutter), and just plain polo shirts are perfect for blending in. I don’t see the point of spending $75 on a ralph lauren polo - it’s just a generic piece. Maybe it’s a comfortable shirt, I don’t know. Maybe you like to broadcast the brands/ money you use. But personally, I think you’ll be better served spending $75 on two pairs of kick@ss jeans that you’ll wear all the time. A few months ago I got some $80 pair from $40 at this mega sale and the girl behind me already said she though they were awesome. I’ve been complimented on them several times since because they are pretty cool. I can’t see the same reaction from a RL polo shirt.</p>
<p>Of course, you may have your own personal style and polo’s can be great, as long as your style stands out. Just sayin’</p>
<p>Well, I agree with you, and actually rarely will buy the polos or anything for full price. I like sales, and it also happens to be that what I wear I find comfortable and my girlfriend likes and when done right you can really stand out.</p>
<p>I wait until the sales start also. Those RL polos that you said were $75 I bought a couple of them on sale for $35.</p>
<p>I don’t think that the point of male fashion (if your goal is to attract women, that is) is to grab attention. I don’t wear anything that would reduce my masculine image.</p>
<p>I don’t wear polos since those make you look like a dork. I don’t wear anything overly trendy like cardigans and whatnot since they makes you look feminine. I just wear crew neck t’s (short or long sleeve) in solid dark colours with jeans. Sometimes a button down. I do however make sure that I wear high quality clothes that fit really well and accentuate my physique.</p>
<p>The only attention grabber that I wear is my leather coat, because it’s one of the manliest things you can wear.</p>
<p>IMO, this is the best style for a young guy. You aren’t helping your chances with women if you dress like GQ model. But if you do in fact look like a GQ model, it probably won’t matter how you dress.</p>
<p>Just don’t wear the jeans with the holes in them or Hollister tees. I try to dress well at school to separate myself from the little boys who wear baseball caps backwards and basketball jerseys.</p>
<p>"
I don’t wear polos since those make you look like a dork."</p>
<p>lolwut</p>
<p>and your advice doesn’t work so well for those of us who don’t have much of a physique to accentuate ;)</p>
<p>it’s true. I’ve had several girls tell me that. I don’t see the point in wearing a polo instead of a t-shirt (except on the golf course). It can’t help with most women, only hurt.</p>
<p>As for your 2nd point, that’s true. But my advice to anyone in that position is to change that asap. Because you won’t look good if you’re out of shape, no matter what you wear. Putting nice clothes on a fat (or skinny) guy is like souping up a crappy car.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>Well I’ve also met women who like polos. And I don’t think they’d market them so aggressively to guys if they were a turn-off. Honestly if a woman doesn’t find me as attractive simply because of the ****ing type of shirt I’m wearing, she’s probably a vapid broad and not worth my time.</p>
<p>I don’t wear clothes to impress any demographic. I wear them because they are appropriate. </p>
<p>That sounds weird. Perhaps a better explanation is that I have a defined sense of what is acceptable as clothing, and will adhere to that regardless of attitude in my particular environment.</p>
<p>Thats why I’m in the gym almost everyday.</p>
<p>I really like shirts with collars on men. My fiance didn’t have any besides a formal dress shirt and I actually bought him some polos so he would wear them. lol. His are from kohls, though. 
I had gotten the impression that the shirts-with-collars thing wasn’t unusual. If you tuck it into your underpants and use a pocket protector you’re going to look like a dork. I don’t think polos are inherently dorky.</p>
<p>What happened to college students being broke? I buy my shirts at Target during the sale season (end of July for summer clothes, beginning of January for winter).</p>
<p>^they must have a good job or use their parents’ wallet
idk just saying =)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m sorry but have you actually seen what runway models look like…6’2’’ and up with like 30 inch waists. These guys are skinny.</p>
<p>In general, just wear clothes that are appropriate for the situation, fit well and match your personal sense of style. Even if the clothes you’re wearing are deemed trendy by some, if they fit you and your sense of style, you should typically look decent in them.</p>
<p>Yeah and I’m not a fan of female runway model’s bodies, so I don’t expect women to like male runway model’s bodies either. Runway models aren’t a good example for anything. Magazine models like chad white are better examples, although he’s definitely not jacked.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well they started out as a formal shirt or for golf and then they caught on. Doesn’t mean women like them. Most probably don’t care, but I think it hurts you more than helps you.</p>
<p>Actually, runway models are a great example as to why you need to buy clothes that fit well. Think about it, if runway models were to wear normal, off-the-rack suits, would they look as nice as they do in their fitted suits?</p>
<p>Well I wasn’t arguing that point at all but don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Except for a very small niche of women, I don’t think that wearing a polo will hurt you with women. I mean if a guy wears the exact same outfit, except one time with a polo and the other time with a collarless shirt, which version exudes a more mature, successful image…the cheaper collarless shirt that makes you blend in better with the kids or the more expensive collared shirt that makes you blend in better with the adults?</p>
